The updated figures were presented by Jorge Rodríguez, President of the National Assembly of Venezuela. The number of injured remains at 16,740.

Nearly a month after the seismic doublet, the nation continues to cope with the damage caused across different regions of the country. More than 17,000 people have been left homeless, while 850 buildings were damaged and another 190 collapsed.

The National Forensic Medicine and Science Service (Senamecf) reported that it will begin conducting DNA tests on relatives of the June 24 earthquake victims—who may be at the morgues in La Guaira or Caracas—in order to achieve positive identification.
